The Market Weak and Irregular Lack of Support Forces Prices to

Give Way-vaIues Very Trregularly Changed at the Close.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 8.
 The market this morning was moderately active. During the first few transactions prices were firm ly held and advanced 8 fraction, but before the first call prices sagged until midday, when they were generally 14 to 1 per cent. lower than they closed on Friday. There was nothing in the situa- tion to which could be attributed the weakness or the market. There was lack of supp ort, however, and prices gave way under the offerings of the bears. The sales for the morning amounted to 1s1 900 shares, of which 32O00 were in Reading, ss.OOO in Richmond and West Point, 1e,2oo in Western Union, 5000 in Louisville and Nashville, and 1900 in Lackawanna. After midday the market was more active and the tone strength ened, but except the cases of few of the lead ing stocks the mornings decline was only partly recovered. The features of the afternoons trading were Reading, Jersey Central and Richmond and West Point Terminal. The three stocks named at one time showed an advance of 1ss to 3Z per cent, but part of this lost in the last half hour Jersey Central and Reading, however, closed 1ssQ 136 per cent higEer respectively than they did on Friday. West Point dropped back to Fridays closing figure, at which it closed. The rest of the list closed firm. but at irregular changes from the closing figures of Friday. In most cases the changes were only fractional. The decision in the Nickel Plate bond case at Cleveland to the effect that the first mortgage was invalid because the bonds were taken by the officers and directors Of the New York, Chicago and St. Louis company caused drop of points in Nickel Plate bonds. The decision also sustained the validity of the second mortgage and as both these points were in favor of Lake Shore the stock of the latter ad- vanced N per cent. The advance was not main- taiusd, however the stock closing A per cent. of. The sales of stocks for the day amounted to 37 80 shares.

". M. c. A. Notes.

The Saturday evening address of H. O.
 Williams, former secretary and manager of
 Y. M. c. A. of our city, and now of the as- sociation of Richmond, Va., was a very able and practical one. While as 8 whole the people are intensely southern in character and feeling, yet the leaven of northern thrift and enterprise is seen and especially the work of officers and members of '. M 0. A. is exercising powerful influence to unite the North and South as kindred people. The citizens show their faith in the institution by their good in building for the associa- tion, now nearly completed, at cost of $35,- 900. A $20, 900 building in smaller city for the Y. NJ. c. A. is completed and paid for Other cities in northern Virginia are taking measures for worthy edifces of this kind The earnest zeal of the independents shown in a meeting of 35 in Chattanooga re- gently was in advance of similar meetings in New York and New England. Texas is rousing up to Christian association work for the needs of her vast domain, rapidly filling up with settlers. The need of a building here worthy this great and good work, he said, ought not to be longer delayed. The present rooms are unworthy such a city as this. $.

North Haven. LOCATED IN MEMORIAL HALL-A SUBSCRIPTION OF $1 000


 LOCATED IN MEMORIAL HALL-A SUBSCRIPTION OF $1, ,00Q. NORTH HAVEN, Jan. 3.-The installation of the Bradley library in it's new quarters in Memorial Hall, on Saturday: was one of the pleasantest social events of the season. As before mentioned, the ladies of the directors were there in force and dispensed their hos pitalities as charmingly as to win the highest commentators from their many visitors. Altogether about one hundred and thirtycalls were received and the treasurer of the library corresponding1y enriched. Some seventy seats were sold for the Hon. L. P. Deming's lecture Jan. 18th, and about twenty new sub scrihers were secured for the library.
 The event perhaps of most significance, not only to the association but the public, was the establishment of subscription on the spur of the moment of one thousand dollars to be made by one hundred persons in sums of ten dollars each Fifteen names were secured with very little effort and the direct ors are confident the whole sum will event. ually be raised.
 The table from which the refreshments were served was conceded by all to be the handsomest in its appointments ever laid in the town and like all similar precedents here it's supply was unbounded The library by this transfer gains immensely in popularity and patronage and begins to reflect in no small degree the wisdom and judgment of it's founder.
 The funeral of Mrs. John Riker will take place this afternoon at 2 o'clock from her late home.
 The Mite society is to meet on Thursday evening with Mrs. J. Allen Mix.

George L. Burnett came into the COURIER office last night and stated that the article in Saturday mornings issue, in regard to the case of George w. Goodse1l vs. Clark Smed- ley, of Smedley Brothers, contained some misstatements. He said: 1I bought two wagons of Smedley Brothers, giving two notes of $65 each. A few days afterward I paid $25 and after that $45, which cleared up one note. I sold one of the wagons to Goodsell Mir. Goodsel wants me to state one thing in particular, that he telephoned to Smedley Brothers to know if I had bought the wagon, and he was told had and it was all right He then took the wagon from me. For some reason, probably because it was thought would not pay for the second wa gon, Clark Smedley takes the wagon away from Goodsell, notwithstanding the fact that the note had given for it does not come due yet for two or three days. Of course Mir. Goodsell sues to recover the wagon

That New Apostles, Creed.

A copy of the revised version of the Apos- tles' creed which Rev. Dr. Smyth alluded to in his discourse of Sunday is given below. It is understood that the revision is from the pen of Rev. Dr. Alden, home secretary of the American board, and is supposed to embody the points at issue between the conservatives and the advocates of the new theology upon the subject of future probation. The creed was sent out in the official envelopes of the American board together with documents ap- pealing for funds:
 BELIEVE
 In one God the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost;
 In the Father Almighty. maker of heaven and earth;
 And in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord, who conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Vir- gin Mary, suffered under Pontius Piate, was cruci fled. dead and buried; he entered into Paradise, the third day he from the dead, he ascended into heaven and sitteth the right hand Of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge according to the things done in the body, the living and the dead.

A Night with His Friends.

The prince Of Wales, it is said, always
reserves one night of every week for in
formal, unreserved intercourse with his
chosen friends. This has been his habit
for years, and he never allows anything
to interfere with it when he is at home.
The particular night is usually passed at
the house of an intimate, who assemblies
on, the occasion a number of bright,
pleasant persons in the princes wide cir
Gle, all of whom devote themselves to
the entertainment. Wales comes and
goes in public cab; a simple supper is
provided; he is treated like all the rest,
and the hours pass most agreeably with
puns, chaff, anecdotes, stories, and the
freest expression of mood and mind.
The prince declares that these uncon-
strained nights have prevented his break
ing down more than once from the OBJ
servance of regular routine and multi
plicity of duties. -London Letter.
